Some comments from Virginia
Transfer of information literacies across the curriculum raymond: has been there a long time - has program in place - do teachers get to contribute to what he teaches? Does he use in context teaching or just skills is there room for teachers to plan with him and have flexibility in the times they visit the library - is there a needs basis or do you get it whether it fits into program or not
Bronte, Virginia and Simone all mentioned working with teachers that want to work with us - shouldn't we be advocating this to all teachers - what stops us making sure other subject areas/classes get same teaching - how can transfer of knowledge occur if we don't - is it more about management of time/lack of effort - is it easier to work with people with same goals in place - teachers not there under duress?
Some comments from Jo
1.Can teacher-librarians continue to use library as a resource base without any implications??? Who makes the decisions as to how library will be managed. Are they accountable ? Do they have to meet the ASLA standards???
2.What does Ann's teacher mean by divide his time evenly between teacher and librarian? Are they not one role?
3.Does he use inquiry based learning? Which method?
4.It seems that both case study 1 and 2 use the library as a safe place where students can play games , do quiet reading -welcoming places
5. all case study mentors have been involved in the planning and design of their libraries.
6.Interesting that Case 2 focusses on literature in the lower years and research skills in the upper years. Case study 3 is part of a junior/middle/senior libraries where information literacy skills begin from year 1. How much does case study 1 teach information literacy skills?
7. the collaborative approach used by case 2 and 3 are the same ( work with those who want to)
8. All cases are passionate to promote literature in their schools?
9.Do all case studies use have a website to promote their libraries? What do they offer?
10.Case study three the only one who has produced and works from an information literacy sequence and scope from P-12?
